Thermoeconomic Analysis of a Solar Enhanced Energy Storage Concept Based on Thermodynamic Cycles

Samuel Henchoz

Large scale energy storage may play an increasingly important role in the power generation and distribution sector, especially when large shares of renewable energies will have to be integrated into the electrical grid. Up to now pumped-hydro is the only t ...

Thermo-economic optimisation of a tower/trough combination solar power plant

Jorge López Moreno

Today a crude oil barrel has five times the prize it had fifteen years ago, moreover, we have increased our global energy consumption by almost 40 percent since then and population growing rates are higher than ever before. In addition, recent tragic event ...

Thermo-Economic Optimisation of Solar Tower Thermal Power Plants

James Spelling

Amidst a backdrop of rapidly increasing world-wide electricity demand, solar thermal power generation shows great potential for supplying the electricity needs of numerous countries in the Sun-belt regions of the world. In these regions, the absence of sig ...

Model and study of a solar tower power plant using molten salt and Rankine cycle

Thomas Wicht

In the present paper, a model of a solar tower power plant (STPP) is presented. This is the result of a Master semester project led at the Laboratory for Industrial Energetic Systems (LENI) at the Swiss Federal Institute in Lausanne (EPFL). The modelized p ...

Evaluation of a combined-cycle setup for Solar Tower Power Plants

Daniel Favrat, Germain Augsburger, James Spelling

Simulation of a pure-solar combined-cycle solar thermal power was performed in order to analyse the thermodynamic and economic performance. An open volumetric receiver and packed-bed storage concept was considered. For a 15 MWe power plant, an exergetic ef ...

Evaluation of a Combined Cycle Setup for Solar Tower Power Plants

James Spelling

As our awareness of the dangers of global climate change grows, the development of new renewable energy technologies is of primary importance in the effort to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Rapid increases in the price of oi ...

Small Hybrid Solar Power System

Daniel Favrat, Diego Larrain, El Hadj Malick Kane

This paper introduces a novel of mini-hybrid solar power plant integrating a field of solar concentrators, two superposed Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) and a (bio)Diesel engine. Turbines for the organic Rankine Cycles are hermetic scroll expander-generators ...

Multicriteria Optimisation of Small Hybrid Solar Power System.

Daniel Favrat, El Hadj Malick Kane

A new concept of small hybrid solar power system (HSPS) has been successfully demonstrated in the context of a project called SPS (Solar Power System). This plant integrates two rows of solar collectors, two superposed Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) each equ ...
